Marlene Diamond

My work embraces both erperience and fantasy. Filtered through the female lense, framed by my perception, I paint life narratives Real and Imagined, exposing inner feelings by revealing its mask. OIL Stix, Caran D’Aache & mixed Med. are mainstays. My new works of Boxes, Altered and Hand made Books, re-interpret found objects discarded by people that have lived and left behind a trail of their lives. I transplant these past links into “intimate settings” for rememberance: exploring and re-defining the meaning of our existence. The disparate pieces are given new life and a continued use. The gateway is open to re-newel and re-birth. (Cigar Boxes, Books,beads, etc.are used)
